A bulk of the connections reside on the left side of the chassis which is nice, in my opinion, keeping most of the cable clutter away from the mouse area. The reason for that is all the heat being pumped out the back from the four system fans (two for CPU, one for each GPU), leaves no room for anything else. Ports are located on the left, right, and front of the machine with nothing on the rear except the power jack. These include a blue lit Sager logo on the lid, lit blue feature line between the touchpad and buttons, and glossy LED indicator bezel at the top of the unit above the keyboard. Users familiar with Sager and Clevo machines will instantly recognize a lot of the common features like the backlit keyboard, plain but elegant styling, dark brushed metal lid and palmrest typically featured on their larger notebooks, and touchpad with fingerprint reader. The cost of this system as configured from resellers is over $4400.

This is intended to be a portable desktop more or less. All this fits under the 17" screen form factor, so most of this added heft is in the thickness of the laptop. Pretty much everything else uses mobile components including RAM and 2.5" hard drives or SSD's. In this case a pair of 680m GPU's fill those slots. This monster of a laptop comes loaded for bear, and it's most unique selling point is the use of a desktop CPU along with dual 100W TDP cards in CrossfireX (AMD) or SLI (nVidia).
Laptops come in all shapes and sizes, and I'll just get to the point, the machine in this review is one of the biggest I've ever seen.
